Why it's Wildland
5.8Known as Farm Street Church, this Jesuit parish church opened in 1849. Its Gothic Revival architecture and richly decorated interior make it a striking historic pause amid Mayfair’s streets.
A compact but distinctive Mayfair visit: step inside a Jesuit church opened in 1849 and look for its Gothic Revival detailing and richly decorated sanctuary. Its appeal is architectural and contemplative rather than wild or rural.
